I wasn't suggesting he run a full restore - it's just that the function to browse the image to recover selective files and folders is under the restore tab on Macrium. (Macrium includes full image restore and selective restores under the sam tab).If you have 2 different OS then you can not use the restore feature unless you want it to be win7. Restore will overwrite win10. If you want win10 then you will only be able to pull data files off the image. That is when you would use the mount feature and be able to copy data to the new OS.
You will also need to reinstall all your programs.
Yes, the full restore function of Macrium will recover your Windows 7. If for some reason you decide you want to do that I STRONGLY recommend you make a separate Macrium image of your new Windows 10 system. Come to think of it I would recommend yo make one before doing anything else then you can recover from and problems from mistakes, data corruption and even had drive failure. The first of such backups should include all hard drive partitions (not just the C drive) - that's why I make Macrium backups weekly and keep the latest three images.Thanks so much for letting me pick your brain. Now it is clear what I need to do since you explained it so clearly. Also, Macrium is not operating system dependent is it? If I get a new pc, it will probably have 10 on it rather than 7. Also, if I do have problems, I assume I can use sys restore as a rescue. Again, thank you.
